just me

What was it?

I have 2 dogs (both 11 years old), 4 cats (17 years, 2 years, 1 year and 7 months) and a rabbit. My 15 year old cat just died less than 2 weeks ago. I have a good sized house with a large fenced in yard. My parents live about 2 blocks away but my mom has Alzheimer's and my dad doesn't move around too well. I am home all day.

There is an absolutely adorable puppy (4 months old) on the Humane Society website and they are having an adoption 'sale' tomorrow. $80 instead of the usual $135, which includes spaying, shots, deworming, etc.

Am I crazy for wanting to add a puppy to my 'zoo'?

My dad is 74 years old and has always been prejudice against people who are not white... as well as gays/lesbians and women to a point. It is not that he necessarily dislikes people of color but he automatically assumes the worst of non-whites. I have tried pointing out the hazards of stereotyping but it hasn't helped. I try to just accept his closed mind since he doesn't seem to be able to change but it drives me crazy sometimes! Any suggestions?

I am thinking of getting a watch (inexpensive) for a child for his birthday... It has a digital display. Would that be appropriate for a 5 year old?

I have sent 2 requests to a band and both times my request expired (or was deleted?) with no response. It is a current popular band, and I know they update their myspace page regularly.

I'm not sure if I should take this personally :( or just keep trying :) .

I'm feeling very unloved right now!!

I get a rubber band on my newspaper everyday and I don't want to just throw them away... what can be done with them?

Turned up so loud that it rattles your house windows? There is another house, a 6 foot fence, some trees and about 150 feet between my house and a major street. People drive down that street with the bass on their stereos so loud it rattles things in my house!

Also while driving, sometimes I can't even hear my own music because of someone else's bass. It's so annoying!! The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing those people will probably be deaf by the time they are 30.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Isn't that just wrong? What can be done about it?

I've read the book and I saw the movie many months ago, but I can't remember who the character of Michael is. Seth Gabel plays the part in the movie.

I would be cleaning the house.

The kind that freezes the wart off. Did it hurt? Have you ever used it on your face?

I used one a few years ago on my arm and it hurt like ****! Today my doctor told me I could use it on my face, but I'm afraid to. I have had a thing 'frozen' off my arm at the doctor's office and it didn't hurt much at all so I don't know why the home wart freezer would hurt so much.

Not just where the needle was, but up and down your arm. Kind of like muscular pain, but not sore muscles? I admit I get really tense 'cause I'm terrified of needles (although I'm not as bad as I used to be), but my arms are sore deep inside... both arms, because she couldn't get a good vein, so she had to stick both arms... didn't help my needle-phobia!!

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced such pain.

Since Edwards dropped out? How is that decided and when?

At the Grammy's, Sundance Film Festival, Super Bowl parties, etc. I understand why the companies give their products to the celebrities... for the exposure and 'status'. But celebrities, in general, have millions of dollars and could afford to pay for anything they want, but these companies give them diamond watches and jewelry, clothes worth hundreds or thousands of dollars and who knows what else. I just find it a little f'ed up that the ultra-rich (who may or may not deserve all of their money) are given more and more while there are people who don't even have the basics.

Opinions??

watching the cursor and you can't see what is on the screen?

For some reason I always associate that song with a TV movie I saw as a little kid. I would have only been about 6 or 7 at the time so I don't really remember the movie but I think there was a boy who ran away. Everytime I here 'Uncle Albert' I get flashes of this movie in my head...Anyone know?? Anyone?? It's been driving me crazy for 30 years or so...
